AA Thought for the Day

We of AA are apt sometimes to brag
of the virtues of our fellowship.
Let us remember that none of these are earned virtues.
We have been forced into them, to begin with,
by the cruel lash of John Barleycorn.
We have adopted these attitudes, these practices,
this structure, not at first because we wished to
but because we had to.
And then, as time confirmed the rightness
of our basic principles,
we began to conform because it was right to do so.

Thought to Ponder....

I can't start doing what's right
until I stop doing what's wrong.
